The Scott Adams School - 06/09/26 Change In Plans! Jeff Callahan joins the Home Team

There we go.

We are live.

We are live. Welcome.

Look who's here and look who's not here, but we got Jeff in the house with us, you guys.

He'll be singing songs.

That's— yeah, yeah, you know, I, I, I answer to the call of duty here.

You are like— you're amazing. You're so amazing. Jeff is going to be singing the new song from Makira today. Um, So that's gonna be— yeah, but you guys, um, I'll, I'll update you again after the sip. But Akira is moving from Mexico back to the States, and so like time, time zones, traveling fatigue— he thought he was on tomorrow, so he will be on tomorrow. Okay, but I did ask him, um, if it was okay. I want to debut the song that I promised we were going to debut, so we'll do that after the Sip. All right, let's get to it so we can get to it. All right, hang on, here we go.

I would like to invite you to enjoy the simultaneous sip, the thing that binds everybody together. And, and I think that's important in this age of coronavirus. We're all going to have to stick together to get through this thing. And all you need is a cup or a mug or a glass, a tank or chalice or stein, a canteen, jug or flask, a vessel of any kind. Fill it with your favorite liquid. Did you know I like coffee? And get ready for the unparalleled pleasure, the dopamine hit of the day, the thing that makes everything better, including the coronavirus. Go!

Ah!

Ah!

Yum! I can't wait till we get through the coronavirus sips. Yuck. Okay, so you guys, my name is Erica. I'm here with my amazing co-hosts Owen, Marcela, and Jeff. Today is June 9th, 2026, and you are at the Scott Adams School. So like we said, we have to do this song. It's so good. We debuted one of them last week, I think it was. Maybe what we'll do is if you missed the first one that Akira came out with. I'll play it when we leave today at the end of the show if you guys remind me. Um, but this one I love. Um, are we ready for it now, or do you want a little quick something first? Should I wait for more people to come in? What do you guys think? What do the hosts think?

I think we should play it now. I feel like dancing.

Yeah, because the people, you know, Owen's gonna dance. Owen, we want to see you dancing, okay?

Uh, might be a challenge, but sure.

He's gonna be like mentally dancing. Okay, you guys, so this one's called Cha-Ching. It's from Akira the Don, and these are his Meaning Wave songs. So it's featuring Scott Adams, our beloved Scott Adams. So let's listen and we'll, we'll dance with the groove.

You better dance, you guys. We'll watch you.

Come on.

Play.

Mhm.

I swear it's God's, um, spirit with us today.

Mhm. This isn't playing, by the way.

Earlier today, I must say, that plant behind me was moving. Just saying. Oh, really?

That was scary.

Yeah, that is scary. You know what's scary is nothing's playing. Let me try this. So I swear it's Scott Adams laughing. I swear, you guys, because I'll fill you in on what happened yesterday on another day, but it's like every, every little birthday thing I'm doing. Let's see if this plays. Oh, all right. Owen, Marcella, Jeff. All right, here's my, here's my first question because I literally don't know this, but who won the game last night?

The Spurs won. Okay, so the San Antonio Spurs won, and guess who's blaming the Knicks losing? Guess who's getting the blame for the Knicks? The New York Knicks, uh, were playing the San Antonio Spurs in the NBA Finals, and it was the third game. Two games, uh, the New York Knicks has won, so they're gonna, you know, be able to win the third one. Um, which, you know, the odds are not so good, you know, like most of the time the other team wins one or two games. And President Trump was in the audience in Madison Square Garden. And guess who's getting the blame for the Knicks not winning? Of course, they were almost— they were close to winning though. I would have to say they played really well. However, I have my NBA, um, how would I say it, my input as an NBA fan. Um, if Barron Trump would have been part of the New York Knicks yesterday, we would have won. The New York Knicks would have won because there is a guy that's just as tall or probably taller in the, in the San Antonio Spurs.

That Black guy?

French guy.

Oh, this is another guy I saw.

Yeah, no, no, that is the black guy. Yeah, but I, I don't know his name. I'm so sorry. He has a huge name. It's not Mandani, it's not Mandami, it's like M— I'm sorry, I don't know his name, but he is—

was it Victor Wemba— Wemba Nyama?

There you go. All right, he— I don't know how tall—

oh my God, my clips aren't working, you guys. That's it. Where's my printer? Where is my printer? I'm gonna throw it out the window.

How, how, how can somebody tell me? Yeah, throw the printer.

Your Bluetooth printer got infected with Scott Adams malware.

Can someone help me pronounce Wembe?

No, Marcella, it's Wembe Nyama. It's that guy. Wembe Nyama.

Apologize.

Call him Mama Wembe. Wembe. They call him Wembe.

He is so tall, like I know that Scott Adams would always say, you know, these sports are never fair, but like, he's like next to the basket and he's like, you know, it's like, how can he be?

To him, it's like he's playing Nerf basketball, you know, on like a closet door where he's just like, dink.

He's so good. That black guy in the NBA.

I know. You know what? I saw this other guy, but now when I realize it was a boxer that I saw, and that's why I was like, It was this guy that was like 7 feet tall and his legs are like little sticks, really tall.

And he was—

looks like this guy— boxing. And I was like, whoa, that's a— that's crazy.

Seems like that would be a big disadvantage for boxing. I mean, you'd have reach, but if, if you're, you know, not built to match, I would think that would be a problem.

Um, you don't want to be top-heavy.

Oh, and guess what the New York Knicks fans did after the game?

Well, Marcela, I have clips. I'm trying to get to it, so I'm just going to say we might have to reenact what they did. Okay, so you guys, I'm gonna refresh everything and you three just riff, talk, do whatever you want to do. You could talk about the game, whatever you want.

So when Trump was pictured, um, at the beginning of the game, um, I don't know, did you watch Jeff Rowan?

Uh, I just saw I saw a couple of clips on, on X, but I didn't watch any of the game.

So when they had the, um, they presented Trump, they said— oh, they didn't say his name actually, they just showed him on camera. Um, he was in— somebody said this, I don't know who said it on X— he had like his own Pope Mobile. He had like his glass covering him. Um, anyways, long story, Pope got shot, whatever, tried to get shot. Back in the day. Um, but he— everybody was USA, USA! So they were very happy that he was actually there. And, um, I think the chairman or someone high up there defended him, uh, saying that he's been a long time Knicks fan. But the main thing, you guys, that you have to know about the game is that Donald Trump knows how to eat the pizza like a New Yorker.

The fold.

Oh, it folds it.

Yeah, does he?

Mm-hmm. They got—

they got—

works. They got the video. Oh yes, I'm so excited!

I'm back, baby, I'm back!

I don't think I've ever seen him eat anything before. I didn't— like, until now, I just assumed that he didn't eat.

But does he know how to eat Chicago deep dish pizza?

Ew.

Listen, honestly, honestly, Owen, people in New Jersey, New York, we— no, nope, no, we don't. We eat it by going, okay, sorry, I don't— I can't relate to that at all. One more time for New York. Yeah, baby, that's how we eat our pizza.

And you know it's hot, you know that pizza is hot.

Yeah, you know it's good and yummy. Um, yeah, so I, I have a little sequence of— you guys, I'm so excited my clips are working, you don't even know. Okay, so I'm so excited.

7'4" is that guy, someone said.

Happy 7'4"!

Okay, I don't know, how tall is Barron Trump? If you guys can look— 9'4"?

9'2".

See, he's very tall. Um, All right, so Marcella, you— oh, by the way, okay, so you guys know the account Maze at Mazemore? If you don't follow him, follow him. I love him. But so did you see how people were saying Trump was asleep at the game and they were showing a picture of him like nodding off or whatever? First of all, it's so good sleeping if you're like at an event with that background noise and whatever. For some reason you could just cork off. But Mazemore has a massive close-up, and he is not sleeping. He's like got his eyes down, he's listening, and you see him do like a little like blink with his eyes. That's hard to see because of the glass, so I, I pulled that for you. So if anybody wants to tell you he is not asleep, let's watch. Watch his eyes, they're down but they're open. He does like a little blink, he's shaking his head. Now he looks up, looks back down.

Yeah, he's awake.

Yeah.

So, oh yeah, he's very awake. I mean, in, in the fourth quarter or third quarter, I think there was a call because now they can get reviews, um, and he was going on and on. You could tell that he was like very animated about a call they made against the New York Knicks, uh, with the owner of the New York Knicks. He was trying to tell them that they were wrong. So he was very much—

this whole Trump is sleeping thing is just a huge psyop. They're trying to manufacture this thing. They, they— I, I think I posted a story about it at one of his other, you know, like press conferences or something where someone said, oh look, Trump's sleeping, and they posted a still photo. And, and then if you just watch the video, you can see that they just caught the one frame when he was blinking and they decided to say, oh look, he's sleeping. And it's like, dude, what the hell is wrong with you?

I know. And then did you see the ones they were posting of like Ted Lieu looking like he's asleep and like everyone else when they had their eyes down?

I love— yeah, like, like, that's the thing. They just need to do like just like 50 or 100,000 pictures of every other public figure blinking and be like, oh my, everyone's asleep.

And I'd believe that those other people are.

And here's, by the way, the simulation alert: Barron Trump is 6'9".

Stop it, he's Scott's birthday age, 69. You go, Barron. 6'9". Wow, I wonder who's so tall. Like, Melania's parents didn't look that tall, but all of those Trumps, they're so statuesque and lean, and everyone's like a supermodel. Amazing. You go, Barron.

I think it's just when you get, when you get both parents that are both tall, that's when it really goes, it gets out of control.

Yeah, yeah, I agree. Um, so more news on the game. All right, so what is, what is this nonsense, you guys? Uh, first of all, when I saw— I, why can't I say the mayor of New York's name? Mom Dami? Mom Dami? Whatever. Um, so they were like, oh, you know, Bryant Park is open up for a viewing of the game. I'm like, why? Why? You're just creating more chaos by saying, come out here in the park, you know, like everyone knows they're going to destroy whatever's around them after. And so after the game, I couldn't tell if the Knicks won or lost, I had no idea. But, um, you know, like, here's a clip, I think. Um, oh yeah, here's the clip here. Totally normal. No, get him, get him! Yep, the cops are like, oh, for the love, what are we doing? This went on and on. They were on top of cars, the usual. I'm so over it.

I, I would just say they're lucky that none of them has ever had a single lesson in fighting in their life because that was pretty embarrassing, I think.

Yeah, that was, that was pretty lame, I guess. Yeah, I, I know, NBA high confidence and low competence there. Yes. Yes, they were confidence maxing, but they couldn't do it.

Like, yes, like a bunch of spaghetti just waving around in the wind.

Oh my gosh. And it's just like, why? What are we doing, people? Like, why do we have to fight? Not actually— let me take we out of it because I have no part of this stuff. But you know what, why can't there just be a game? I was thinking this morning, I'm like, how do you solve this problem besides like the obvious things that would get me, you know, fired from life. Um, you know, I was like, what if the games are played and then they— spoiler alert— the, like, they're like pre-recorded games and then they're like, just FYI, the Knicks are gonna lose, the Spurs are gonna win, um, there's a foul that people are gonna lose their minds over, and now we're gonna put the game on TV so you can watch it. Like, just take all the, like, you know, the air out of it so it's not fun anymore.

I don't know, but I mean, I, you know, I, I'm, I'm certainly against fighting, and I think as a civilization we shouldn't do these things. But I have to say, as a man, I understand it. Like, I, I understand how it happens. It's, it's probably somebody insulted somebody or said some crap, and the person didn't want to take the crap and escalated and maybe said something about their mom. And like, it just— that's how it happens. I mean, I think, you know, it is a natural thing, and maybe it's something that men more intuitively understand, that it's like you're either defending your honor or somebody else you care about, or you're sports team. And I'm not defending it. I'm not saying it's a good thing. I'm just saying I understand how it happens. People get wrapped up in these things emotionally, and it's, it's a male impulse from an emotional perspective to say, I'm not going to take that, I'm going to strike back, and I'm going to win this. And it escalates into physical violence.

I wish I had this other clip though. They're in Bryant Park and they're stomping on the planters with trees in them and ripping the trees out of the planters and like just, just destroying whatever they can destroy. And I'm just like, what, you know, I don't know, that's a different thing. That's just an a-hole, you know what I mean? That's like a-hole behavior, and that's what really bums me out. And actually, I don't really want to fully— well, I'll get off the Knicks right now, but I just— so this just led me to another clip, um, that I wanted to show you guys because this was upsetting too. So I just feel like, I don't know, is like America doing this the most? And are we— are, you know, don't bring All right, regrouping, regrouping. So I love watching The Housewives of Wherever on Bravo because it's like the best train wreck ever to watch. But every time these chicks go on a vacation to another country, I die inside because I cannot stand seeing Americans in other countries acting like complete a-holes. It's so embarrassing, like it just makes our entire country look terrible. Um, And so when I saw this video— so now we know Japan, okay? Japan is like just this shining, beautiful place of traditions and values and morals and pride in their country. And now people are like flocking there. Influencers— I can't, I can't, okay? Influencers are flocking there. Like this one chick I saw, I'm like, she's dressed so inappropriately. I'm like, don't go there. Like What are we doing? Like, they're all covered up. What are you doing? So this guy from, I think it's Kick or Twitch or something, goes to Japan and he wants to just like make a video. And I cannot stand this scenario, how he goes into the store and they're not having it. Like, they're not happy in Japan with what's going on. And the store owner's telling him immediately to leave. And what I can't stand is that the guy can't just turn around and walk away. He keeps going like, chill, chill, chill. Watch, this is so infuriating.

Chill, chill, chill, chill.

We're leaving.

Bye.

Okay, bye-bye.

Bye.

Okay, bye.

Chill, chill, chill, chill, chill, chill.

Okay, okay.

Why is he being like that? Just film it over there.

Put it, put it.

Just film me.

Okay, okay, okay, okay, okay.

Film us, film us. Make sure you film us.

Chill, chill. No, my cameraman. Chill. Okay, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I know, I No, okay, okay, okay, okay, okay. No, no, no, okay, calm, calm, calm. No, don't touch him, bro. It's expensive, expensive, it's expensive, it's expensive, expensive, expensive.

We're leaving.

Okay, okay, we're leaving. I mean, leave, leave.

We're leaving. We're— let's go.

No. No way! Oh no, no, no, no, no, relax, we're leaving! Why are you— why is he still pressing up on us? We didn't even know. Let's go, let's go! Uh, let's go!

All right, it goes on and on. Is that not infuriating? Like just say I'm so sorry and walk away, but instead they gotta like rile this guy up. And I like that Japan's not playing, they're just like, we're not, we're not gonna do here, what you guys are doing in America. And I'm sure they watch the videos over there of what we do after a sporting event, or if we don't like what a politician says, or, you know, we want the Jews and the Palestinians to hate each other, we just destroy our country. So what's your take on that, you guys? Jeff, I'm going to start with you. I can't stand this.

Well, you know, the shop owner came around the corner immediately. I mean, I think he was concerned that the, uh, that the young men were Knicks fans ready to fight. And so he was just like, you guys gotta, you guys gotta leave. When I look at stuff like that, I'm, I'm, you know, like in 2018, my wife and I traveled to Iceland and, you know, I was getting my passport stamped and I just had one thought. It was like, I'm going to be respectful of, of their culture, right? Like, I'm going to be respectful. Like, I'm a guest in this country.

That's right.

I am a guest. When I go over to a friend's house, I'm a guest, you know. What do guests do? Guests, you know, are respectful. Like, you have to be respectful. And so when I see stuff like that, I like that the shop owner came around and was like, uh-uh, I'm not having any of this. And he's like, bro, my camera's expensive. It's like, you know what else is expensive? Having a business, that's also expensive. And so if you're not going to be respectful, like, in my opinion, you just need to be sent back to your own country and you, like, you, you are banned from Japan, you know, wherever you're acting a fool. We, we need, we need, we need respect within our country. Like, the people ripping out the planters, like, those people need respect, uh, and also if you're traveling to somewhere else, you need respect. It's, it's kind of the basic building block of having a functioning society.

Yeah, and I think that also cultures that are just beautiful like that, like in Japan, they see that we don't have respect here in our own country. You know, like they see what's going on here. I mean, these are a lot of, a lot of people are immigrants, illegal immigrants that are here destroying things. And a lot of people are Americans here destroying things in their, in their very own country. So, um, I, I'd say anyone coming from here, from America right now, doesn't really get a pass because we're not, we're not showing anything good. Marcela, you went to Iceland. Did you respect their culture?

Um, give me one second. I don't know what's wrong with— um, I actually studied at the University of Iceland, so I've been there like 10 times. So, um, Iceland is very different than, um, than, uh, Japan. I've been to Japan, um, and you can't do what they do. I had a friend, um, in Japan stationed there and somebody mailed him, um, like it was liquid, uh, pot or something like that, something illegal. And he was not the one that— like, he was mailed that from the US. He had to get lawyers, everything. It took like years to— he was kicked out of the country. I mean, um, they're very serious.

Like, I kind of like that.

Um, their justice system, like, they have like, I don't know, out of the top of my head, like 98, uh, prosecution. So once you're accused, you're like, it's gone. Um, I don't know if this is Johnny Somali, um, the one that you showed, but there was a Twitch, uh, guy that ended up— I think it is out and, uh He was, um, I think he was basically given a huge fine and probably can't come back to Japan.

Good. I think it was Johnny Somali, actually.

There's been more than one, so, which is crazy. They're all, uh, Kick or Twitch, uh, influencers.

Yeah, so stupid. Oh, and your take? I know you hate this.

Well, I, I think, um, I, I just asked Grok about this, like, why would this person be upset? And I, it seems like there is a different cultural aspect here where people are concerned about what they call their portrait rights, or, you know, the rights to have themselves filmed. And, and there is more legal protections there than there would be in the United States. And so I think it is a key cultural difference that clearly this Kick streamer— I think it is a Kick streamer— um, wasn't aware of or didn't care, one of the two. Um, and I certainly, whenever I have traveled internationally, I, I try to understand first and respect the, the other country's culture, you know. I mean, it— there may be some limits, like I'm gonna go, you know, behead somebody because I'm in a Muslim country, but I, you know, to, to whatever extent I can to fit in, I would want to follow the customs that they do. And, and Japan is probably one of the prime examples where that's all over movies and TV. Not this particular thing about being filmed, but just how, okay, you might want to bow to the person, or you might want to, you know, have a bow lower than they do to show more respect, you know. And so I think it's, it's one of the examples that was probably used more than anything about when you're dealing with someone from Japan or, you know, from another country, you really should try to understand their culture and adapt to that. Yeah. And when you're a guest in their country, you should act like a guest. Just like I used to say to people in Scott's Man Cave, you know, you're a guest in Scott's home, you should act like a guest. You shouldn't say something that might be offensive to, to Scott, like You know, it's not just some internet chat where you can just free-for-all. And I think that's the same sort of dynamic here, is that these Kick streamers think they can just do whatever they want and they don't care, or they don't— I'm guessing he probably wasn't even aware. I'm guessing he probably never did any research, never said, is this going to be okay or not?

Um, that was his first mistake. And his second mistake was not immediately saying I'm sorry and leaving.

Yeah, but I mean, the rest of it, the way I interpreted the video, and I could be wrong, was maybe the shop owner speaks no English and You know, they might just not have been able to communicate with each other from that point on because, you know, the guy kept repeating words and the other guy was saying his stuff in Japanese. And I'm guessing neither one of them understood anything the other person was saying. And I've been in that situation. I actually almost got arrested when I went to Paris. I got off the train because I was doing that Eurail pass thing. I don't even know. I think— I assume they still have that, but it was like this unlimited train pass. And so I was like, okay, I'm going to go to Paris. And I show up on a night train, get there in the morning, and Almost immediately after stepping off the train, I'm just walking towards my hotel and a cop stops me. And he can't speak any English and I can't speak any French. And so I'm just trying to figure out what's going on. But he was like, you know, detaining me basically. He didn't handcuff me, but he was about to. He showed me the handcuffs like he was preparing to. And we tried to communicate with each other. And at one point he said papier, and I interpreted that to mean, oh, do you want paper to write on, but what he meant was he wanted to see my passport. So when I figured that out, I gave him my passport, and that showed that I had just literally arrived like minutes ago, and then he calmed down. And what I— the best I could make out is that somebody mugged somebody and they look like me.

Oh, maybe.

So he thought he was catching the mugger. But, um, you know, I was probably kind of lucky just that I could make that much out of what it was, you know, what was being said. But again, my attitude would always be, you know, be respectful, try and understand their culture and adapt to it, and You know, you're, you're a guest in this country. And I do think that's probably the stereotype of Americans is that they don't do that. You know, they just act however they want and they expect everyone to adapt to them. And I understand that, like, when you're a tourist and you're paying lots of money to go to a fancy resort or something, you might feel entitled to act how you want. But I still think no matter what the situation is, you're a guest in their country. They have their culture that they're used to, and if you don't do anything to try and figure out what you might be offending them with, then you're risking at least getting into these types of situations.

Mm-hmm. And the good news, Owen, is they've given up looking at passports there, so you could go now to France and Paris and do whatever you want. Nice. Yeah, yeah, they gave it up. It's like, everybody come in, chaos for everyone.

They were the opposite at the time. At the time, I, I went to a whole bunch of European countries, and usually they would stop on the train and just say, let me see your passport, and then they hand it back to you. With France, they said, give me all your passports, and they went away with them for hours. Like, they just walked away with all our— I was like, what's going on? Am I going to get this back? Like, what's the deal? And I assume that meant they were probably like running some background check or something, but at the time they were highly secure in France.

Um, all right, well, France So update, Johnny Somali, um, I, I believe that's probably not him because he's facing, um, prison in South Korea. So he did something else again in South Korea and now he's, you know, he was convicted, I believe, uh, recently.

Okay. All right, Johnny Somali.

Uh, God, Drac seems to think it was somebody named Oblivion and That works. Obnoxious.

There's also a guy named Ice Poseidon who also caused issues.

All right, everybody stay out of Japan. Just leave them alone, okay? For God's sake. And nobody is that interested in what you're doing in Japan. Nobody cares. Just, you're acting like an idiot and that's why we're looking at you. Um, okay, so here's one of our, uh, Mike Lindell badass reporters. Um, we played her the other day and I totally forget her name. It's somewhere. Wait, wait, wait. Allison Steinberg. Allison Steinberg talking to Pastel Timu, uh, Timu Obama last night at the Knicks game about fraud. And let's just take a quick little listen to what this little pastel bunny says. Leader Jeffries, looking at the state of California, the state has rampant, uh, SNAP fraud, hospice fraud, immigration fraud. Are we really supposed to believe there's no election fraud in California? And if so, if there's no election fraud, then why would California Democrats refuse a federal audit?

California is a great place to live. I appreciate the leadership of Governor Gavin Newsom, uh, as well as, of course, the California delegation, which is a tremendous group of public servants. There is no election fraud in California. Donald Trump is making it up. He can't point to a shred of evidence to prove his point. This is all a conspiracy theory because Donald Trump knows in November he's going down in flames electorally and Republicans are about to lose the House.

I think he went to the Gavin Newsom School of Hand Gestures.

He's trying to land a plane there.

I know, I'm like, what's going on? Um, okay, so yeah, all right, so Here we go. There's not a shred of proof that anything's wacky in that California election. I mean, 8 million ballots just showed up and not one of them was for Spencer Pratt. And now, uh, Nithya Ramanoodle is like getting more votes than Karen Bass was even going to get. Like, Karen really didn't get any either. Nithya is a star. So you're our expert, Jeff, on the Spencer Pratt story. Do you think there's a shred of a, um, problem over there?

Well, there, there's a lot to unpack. Uh, number one, is it, is it still Easter? Because I, I love his, his pastel outfit there. It's great. Um, but here, here's the thing is, number one, there, there's a concept that, that I've been tuned, tuned into called spellcasting. And I've covered this on my live show just a little bit. And it sounds really esoteric, but when people— majority, the majority on the left, um, a lot of times when they're trying to convince people of things, they'll, they'll do what I call spell casting. And so they're, they're not, they're not trying to inform anyone, they're just casting a spell so that other people repeat the same talking point. And without a shred of evidence would be a spell. It's a spell that's been cast. Um, it's not really to convince you, it's to get you to shut up, number one. And number two, it's to get other people to cast the same spell so that you don't question anything. Uh, and there's— there is a— what I would say is there's a lot of evidence in the sense of, of look at all this stuff that just doesn't add up, does not seem trustworthy, right? It doesn't seem trustworthy. That would fall under evidence. It may not be proof, right? It may not be like a smoking gun because these things are notoriously difficult to actually look into because they're designed not to be, uh, audited, right? Um, I just saw something this morning from the New York Post. Joe Pollock shared it where, uh, nearly 1,200 people were registered to vote at a homeless shelter on Skid Row with just 132 beds. Now that by itself may not be illegal, but if there is— because I asked Brock if they falsified their, you know, the, the, like, the voting registration records. And, uh, as part of that, that could be illegal, you know, that would be fraud. Um, and so tellingly, actually, um, I shared this on my X. Nithi Raman had a— I'll pull it up here— um, had a— she was the person overseeing, like, the homeless, um, aspects on city council. And she, she, uh, as part of her duties, the city of Los Angeles awarded $600,000, uh, to a, um, let's see here, I'll read this. And as Spencer Pratt was eliminated by Nithi Raman in the mayor's race on Monday night, it can be revealed that the drop-in center— there's a homeless drop-in center— received $600,000 from the socialist candidate, had 185 registered voters at that address, but offers no accommodation. And so there's, there's just a lot of stuff that doesn't seem to add up, and it doesn't seem to be trustworthy. And so my counterspell would simply be, there's a lot in this election that doesn't feel trustworthy. We can't say fraud because that, as Michael Malice would say, that, that trips a mousetrap in someone's brain where they say, oh well, what evidence do you have? Well, we have a lot of evidence, uh, that needs investigating, but it's hard to argue with. It doesn't feel trustworthy. This entire process does not feel trustworthy.

It doesn't feel trustworthy. And, um, someone's saying Rahman's on the homeless commission. And Lyric Flower says, I thought they couldn't give homeless tickets because they didn't have a mailing address. How can they have a voting address? And I always thought that you had to, um, I always thought you had to pay taxes and file a tax return to vote. Not even pay, but file. I thought that was back in the day. Marcela saying no, but go ahead, Marcela.

Oh, I, I'm not surprised that ramen, um, is second place, to be honest. Um, but because down in LA, everybody I know voted either for Bass or ramen. Like, I, I, I'm sorry to break it to you, but that's, that's my perspective from everybody I know.

You don't think this is rigged?

If it is, then there needs to be a— again, like I said earlier, Spencer Pratt believes that it is, that he needs to litigate it in California court, and then it can be unwound. And because he— I can't litigate it, but he as a runner, he is a candidate, he's able to review all the ballots, which I believe he should. Harvesting is a very, uh, big thing. Um, also whether some of these people are conscious or alive. So yeah, I— this always been the case. Um, this is not new. I was never— I'm never surprised. Um, do I think that there has been possible harvesting or boats of people that don't exist? Probably, but you need to, you need to sue to get that information and discover that. Um, and the person that needs to sue is Spencer Pratt. That's why earlier last week I said, Spencer, if you're watching, lawyer up and bring it, because that's where you're gonna uncover it. Um, that's how I feel about it.

I hope he does. I mean, I know he has some really good people supporting him behind the scenes.

Why Why did they— somebody's asking why did they vote for Bass? Because they always vote for the Democrats.

They're just Democrats, fools.

I mean, when I say there's a lot of liberals in, in LA, I mean it. Like, they really are. They are looking at New York City and they want somebody even more liberal and more communist than Bass, so they go to Rhamen.

Um, Owen, what do you think I mean, we can't know, but we can have an idea. Scott would say about all of those thousands of ballots coming in and not one vote is for Spencer Pratt, it's certainly very suspicious.

But overall, what I would say is there's different aspects of this you need to consider. One is, in my opinion, the election can be rigged without doing anything illegal. You know, there are parts of the system that I think are flawed and allow things to happen that would allow elections to be rigged. And ballot harvesting is one of them, where if you're able to ballot harvest, that means you're basically saying anyone who wants to can walk around and essentially pick up hundreds or thousands of votes potentially, and it can swing an election result. And, and it's rigging the election in one direction if only one party is doing that. And you could always say, well, the Republicans could do it too, and maybe they should. I, you know, I play the rules of the game, I guess. But it— I do see that that is something that I would consider rigging the election, because you're not, you're not really having a level playing field if one party is doing massive ballot harvesting. And then on top of that, you have very lax signature requirements in terms of like what's verified. You have very lax requirements of what you need to show to register to vote. I think I passed an article recently how it's like you know, they'll take like your gym ID card or whatever, you know. It's just ridiculous what— how little you need to show to register to vote. And there have been— there are shreds of evidence of things that have gone on in California. There's this person, Brenda Lee, uh, I think they can nickname her Anika Brown Armstrong, who was convicted of, um, paying people to vote. So they were paying homeless people and, um, I think these other people, Marcus Raul Arrevalo and Carlos Antonio de Bourbon-Montenegro, I don't know, it's a long name.

Sounds like a wine.

They were also fraudulently registering thousands of homeless people and fictitious voters, and they were convicted of that. So there is evidence, and that's just a couple. I had Grok come up with a list, and there's like 5 or 6 different instances they pointed out of actual convictions of election fraud, and there have been candidates that have rigged elections and convicted fraud. And so the other part I would point out is the attitude of the Democrats is always, don't look any further. It's like, think past the sale, you know. They're saying, oh, Donald Trump is making this stuff up, he doesn't have a shred of evidence. Well, why don't they care about actually having good election integrity? Why don't they want photo IDs? Why don't they want people to actually verify that they are a citizen and that they're allowed to vote and that they are someone who lives where they say they live and that it's a real person and you don't have 100 people registered to the same address? Why would you say let's not look at that? Let's not clean that up.

This is rigged in their favor. That's why, of course.

And of course that's why. And, and so I do think there is fraud going on. I don't know whether or not it's enough to swing the result of the election. Maybe Michelle is right that even if everything was on the up and up, that maybe Rahman still would have taken second place. I don't know. But that's the thing, you can't know because the system is not designed to let you know who won legitimately. And that's the problem. And I think that's what Scott Adams would say, is this whole system is designed to allow fraud. And, and I also would, would disagree on the court part. Not that he shouldn't try, but we saw what happened in Arizona with, with, you know, that race when that— when they tried to litigate it. We've seen lots of instances with Trump in 2020 when he tried to litigate it, and all the courts just said, nope, sorry, nope, sorry. For whatever reason, but it was very clear, I think, that courts do not want to take these cases. They don't want to get involved. They don't want to litigate who won an election. And so I think that part of the system is broken too, because they're the only check and balance that exists in our country for that. That is the place that needs to, to litigate these things and needs to really hear the evidence and needs to make these decisions. And they're shirking their responsibility because they don't want to be the one to decide an election. And I think they're just abdicating their responsibility, and it— as a result, it's kind of like a free-for-all. Anybody can do what they want. You can get— I mean, some people might get arrested if they get caught with, you know, red-handed with evidence, but other than individuals, in terms of widespread fraud, there's really no way to counteract it because the courts won't step in.

Well, speaking of that, so I was always 100% confident in Sidney Powell's, uh, observations and conclusions about the 2020 election. I followed that so hard. I just— because I could just see it in front of my face. Um, so I want to play a clip here and then let's talk about this because, you know, and then I also want to talk about— you guys can, um, help me out, but I, I quickly saw that Trump signed something about no more mail-in ballots, and you guys will let me know what that means after we talk about this.

Let's watch.

I can hardly wait to put forth all the evidence we have collected on Dominion, starting with the fact it was created to produce altered voting results in Venezuela for Hugo Chavez and then shipped internationally to manipulate votes for purchase in other countries, including this one. It was funded by money from Venezuela and Cuba, and, and China has a role in it also. We have staggering statistical evidence. We have staggering testimony from witnesses, including one who was personally in briefings when all of this was discussed and planned, beginning with Hugo Chavez and how it was designed there, and then saw it happening in this country. As soon as the states shut down on election night and stopped counting, those are the states where the most egregious problems occurred. We also need to look at, and we're beginning to collect evidence on, the financial interests of some of the governors and secretaries of state who actually bought into the Dominion systems to line their own pockets by getting a voting machine in that would either make sure their election was successful or they got money for their family from it. Well, for fraud this serious, I think even if the states are stupid enough to go ahead and certify the votes where we know the machines were operating and producing altered election results, then they will be set aside by the fraud also. I mean, we are talking about hundreds of thousands of votes. President Trump won this election in a landslide. It's going to be irrefutable. Patriots are coming forward faster than we can collect their information with testimony they're willing to give under oath. About how their votes were stolen and how the machines operated. They were updated the night of the election, sometimes after the election. We've got statistical evidence that shows hundreds of thousands of votes being just put in and replicated. There needs to be a massive criminal investigation, and it's going to affect millions of voters and elections.

RIP Lou Dobbs on there. So that, that was Sidney Powell then about the election. And it turns out that this is what they're finding to be true. Um, she was right. And, you know, we're going to talk more about that, and I have a special guest planned to talk about this, um, coming up for you guys. But so again, it comes down to the elections. Everything is, you know, appears to be fraudulent, rigged, and wrong, and you have other countries interfering. And, you know, so I don't, I don't know the solution, but Can you guys, um, Owen, I'm going to come to you first on that, then Marcella, but can we talk about that and then what President Trump did with the mail-in ballots?

Yeah, well, as I understand it, he's trying to essentially put some real checks around the mail-in ballots to say that you are a citizen. Obviously, that also means you have to verify the person's ID. And, um, you know, it, to me, it's another 80/20 issue. I just posted a story saying there's something like you know, almost 80% support in Ohio for photo ID for voting. Um, and that was clearly— it was partisan in the sense that 99% of Republicans supported and 69% of Democrats supported, but that's still a vast majority. That's over two-thirds of Democrats support that. And so clearly this is the politicians going against the will of the people to try and allow mail-in ballot fraud. There's no other reason not to allow this photo ID. It's very obvious to anybody. Um, and so they're just trying to allow these things to happen because clearly it benefits them to do so. And the only reason it would benefit them is because they are allowing people to, to do fraudulent voting. You know, that, that there's no other reason why you would say— why you would object to those kinds of checks. Um, and so I think it's, it's very clear that the Democrats are trying to cheat, and they're trying to allow cheating, and they're trying to encourage cheating. Because every time they talk about how we shouldn't have these things, they're basically telling people, hey, you can get away with this pretty easily, go ahead, do what you want. And it may or may not be this conspiracy where they have some back room somewhere where they plan all this out and have a warehouse full of workers filling out ballots, although that might be the case. But, you know, it may or may not be that. It might be a bunch of disconnected people that are just doing their part. Or in the case of some of the cases I mentioned in California, they were actually probably getting paid for that in some way. Um, you know, the person who pled guilty was paying the homeless people like $2 or $3 or cigarettes or a phone card or little things, but I'm guessing that was funded somehow.

Yes.

And, and, and in that case, she was registering all of those voters to her address. And so clearly that was just, I'm gonna have the ability to cast votes whatever way. And I didn't look at the details of all of it, but I know there have been cases where people are paid to do that sort of thing. They're paid to say, give me your ballot, I'll give you however many dollars. And then I'll fill it out for you and I'll submit it. They may or may not ask the person to sign it, or they might just fraudulently, you know, forge the signature. But again, there's no checks on that. There's nothing that would make that not get counted. And so it's, it's a clear flaw in the system. And I think the 2020 election made it a thousand times worse because it used to be more of an absentee ballot thing where we would notice if you suddenly had 100 times more than normal numbers of votes coming in mail-in ballots. But now they've basically normalized it by saying, okay, we're just going to send it out to everybody, or we're going to send it out to everybody who asks for one. And so pretty much everybody gets mail-in ballots, and it works in the favor of Democrats every single time. All right, so it's a game.

It's a game for sure.

Marcela, um, as your attorney on the show, I want to say the Dominion was never proven to be to be any kind of fraud in Dominion. And Dominion actually sued Fox News and got $787 million from them, as well as they sued Sidney Powell, and that lawsuit is still ongoing. She did settle with one of their executives, but the, the lawsuit that is for $1.3 billion against her is still ongoing.

So I just want to, like, say that because I would respond to that by just saying I don't think— I don't see that as the play for Dominion. Like, if I just start with the assumption that they did want to allow cheating, I don't know that that necessarily means they were the ones doing the cheating. They were providing a system that would enable cheating. And to me, that's the main issue with Dominion and places like Smartmatic and all that, is that they made a vulnerable system. And there's no question that they did that. There's no question that they made a system that could be easily hacked by a 13-year-old. It's been demonstrated. And they're, they're using operating systems all the way up to the way they store data on those things, to the way they either audit or don't audit the results. And it's made it easy to cheat. And certainly for a state-level actor, it would probably be trivial for them to take advantage of that. And they did have voting machines connected to the internet.

Yes.

All day long during voting day, because I was a voting judge when I followed the procedures and it said put up the hotspot and leave it connected all day. So it absolutely has happened. It may or may not happen in every election or every district, but it doesn't need to. You can bring an election just in a couple places.

And yeah, they proved it live.

That is what should be criminal. It may or may not be illegal what they did, but that to me is what's missing on the Dominion side. So they may or may not be able to prove that they were in cahoots with the Democrats or selling election results or whatever it might be, But they did enable that to happen. And if I had to guess, they probably would have said, okay, we're going to do this part, we're not going to get involved in the other part, but we'll show you what to do. And that obviously would have been something that would never would have been recorded or written down. And then, you know, the other people just realize, okay, I can see the source code because I did whatever state-level audit of the code. So I have access to all the source code. And so I know exactly what to do and I know what I can get away with and I know how to fix all the audit logs and I know how to change the results.. And there have been results that make it pretty clear that something weird was going on where they had like fractional votes.

I remember it was like Elizabeth Warren and somebody else. I could almost think of who it was. When they first— Dominion first presented to them, they were like, wait, like these machines are not secure. And they didn't want to go with Dominion, but for some reason they did. And, um, they proved it, uh, in real time when they were submitting evidence over the, you know, the steal. And they were showing, look, I can hack into this machine right now. They did it like right from the room they were in, and it was like, holy shit, they're in the machines right now. So yeah, their court case might be one thing, like the way it was, uh, presented or charged or whatever, but what Owen said, yeah, is true. But I like that Marcella's, you know, just letting us know they're was a whole legal thing, so we do have to remember that. However, they were designed to be rigged, and I'll say allegedly. But Marcela, what else did you want to say about that?

You know, you just have to be very careful about going in, and I think the system does have to change. One of the things was the Save America Act of everybody being able to vote. And being able to show an ID and an ID that they can like substantiate you're a US citizen, you know? So I think that that is sad that the Senate has let us down for not voting for that because who would be against it? It's been shown that 75%, 25% still not against it, the Democrats. And then like some, like 85% of Republicans are for this. So, and every other nation does that. So that should be implemented, you know, have, you know, as Scott Adams would tell us, you know, the system is what you let it to be. And in my mind, cheating goes on both ways because if you see nobody, nobody on the Republican side, nobody on the Democrat side, nobody's willing to make the changes. This is why the Save America Act hasn't passed. In my perspective. This is just my opinion, um, and why some states do it the way they, they do it. I'm sure the same would apply in a Republican state where they wouldn't want any Democrats to control it or have any say. So in my opinion, it's the people, it's the citizens that need this. Of course, the makers of the rules, the actual politicians, wouldn't want this. They would want a system that's vague like we have, that anybody can bring in a gym membership. Like, a foreigner can have a gym membership and vote.

I mean, how does a foreigner though get a gym membership? How does, how does a poor disenfranchised wife get a gym membership? Like, does she have a license to show who she is to sign up? And how would she go buy a box of wine if she didn't have a license or something to prove who she is? It's very strange. Um, all right, Jeff, take us home on this one.

Yeah, so I came across a post by our friend Walter Kern. Um, he, he has a ton of great posts all the time, but I saw this one and I'll, I'll quote it here. A lot of people don't want to confront the implications of what they just saw happen in LA. Even those who are appalled by it, they want an out just so that they can go on, not be terrified, feel a tiny, tiny bit in control still. It will be interesting to see what they come up with. And so there, there needs to be a national reckoning of, uh, what we notice again with the spellcasting is the system's broken. You can't check and you shouldn't check, uh, We as a country need to just open our eyes and say, well, okay, things are actually bad in this regard. Our elections are untrustworthy more often than we wish they were. And without that awareness, no change can happen from that. All the change and reform is downstream from the awareness that there is a problem. And I think seeing stuff like 75, 80% of people want common sense voter ID laws. That's a really good signal. Um, and you know, to bring it home, we'll have to see how these numbers actually bear out, but I saw something yesterday that suggests that Karen Bass is gonna— like, she may already be over 300,000 votes, and in 2022 she only got, uh, 278 votes in, in the primary. And so It's mind-boggling to just sit with the, with the notion, even if you think that there is absolutely zero fraud whatsoever and these are real people that voted, that, you know, something like 20 or 30,000 more people voted after rewarding her for her— after the mayor went to Ghana and, and was at happy hour while a part of the city burned down. That doesn't, that doesn't pass the smell test on its face. But then when you layer on top of it Nithya Raman getting— she might be around a quarter million votes right now, you know, by, by today. And that is more than Rick Caruso got in 2022. And so there's just— it's kind of the 81 million votes thing where you look at the raw numbers and you're like, wait a minute, you're telling me that more votes are cast now for candidates that, you know, either, you know, were out of the country when a massive fire happened or are incredibly unpopular and cried on election night because they were presumably conceding. And so, yeah, it's, uh, I don't know that I have the perfect solution, but the square one is just understanding that there's a problem.

The math isn't mathing. Go ahead, Owen.

It reminds me of when Kim Foxx was reelected in Chicago because that was after this Jussie Smollett controversy. I'm like, okay, well, at least she'll be out. But no, she got reelected in a landslide. So it's like, okay, what exactly happened there? Did everybody say, okay, I just don't care, or I don't know who Kim Fox is, I'm just going to vote for a D? I, I don't really believe that. I, I think to me that was a very clear indication that there's something else going on here. But again, it's not proof. It's not, you know, something you can necessarily present in court. And I think that's the problem with a lot of the statistical type evidence too. I remember in 2020 when I was digging into some of the details, I saw that like in Milwaukee, in some of the urban districts It was something like 99% voter turnout. It's like, come on, really? Like, you expect people to believe that 99% of people in this inner-city, lower-economic district showed up to vote?

Really?

That's just ridiculous. I mean, there's no way that happened. And it was obviously way higher than any other election before that. And so, you know, to me, that is enough to convince me if I was on a jury that there was cheating going on. But I understand that, like, you can't necessarily point to it and say, here's the person who did it and here's how they did it. So I understand the legal standard might be a little different based on how they just write the laws and say, what's, you know, what does it take to prove election fraud? But I think that's the problem, is that we're losing confidence in our elections and we're losing confidence in the system, and it's either causing people to not even try when they should. I mean, if anything, the better response is to say vote harder, vote more, you know, do ballot harvesting if your state allows it. Obviously don't break the law, but like do whatever you need to, to, to change the result. But my other advice would be vote out every freaking incumbent until we get people who will support voter ID and voter integrity.

You guys, thank you so much. Wait, to all of this, to all of this I say Some will say that was AI. I don't think so. And another palette cleanser. Look at how beautiful this thing is. I mean, gorge. Look at that. We finally look like we're taking things seriously. I'm happy about these changes. So thank you, Jeff, so much for coming on. You're the best. Everybody loves you. You just fit right on in. So sweet. You guys, so we didn't get to do so much stuff today. We ran out of time. Tomorrow Akira will be here. And you know what? Even better, we can debut the song with Akira. So we'll do that. And I say, let's just go. We'll be useful. We'll vote harder, vote stronger, and don't give up. Whatever you do, they try to knock us down. They try to make you feel— I mean, it is part of the plan to make people feel disenfranchised. That is absolutely a tactic. So don't get disenfranchised. I have a friend that I joke with and we'll be like, oh, you know, did you see what happened? And blah, blah, blah, blah, blah. And now we're just like, ah, who cares?

Who cares?

Who cares? It's over. Who cares? And I'm like, no, no, no, no, no. You have to care. You have to keep caring, but you don't have to make it your life's mission to care to the point of being nauseous. Just care enough to keep voting and fighting for what's right for the future of our country. Okay, so thank you to Scott and to Shelley for allowing our show to go on here at the Scott Adams School. It's, um, it's a great— it's a great place to be, and we're so happy you guys show up. Um, Akira will be here tomorrow. And another special thank you to Jeff and to Marcella and to Owen, as always. And, um, you guys, let's go be useful, okay? And a closing sip to our beloved Scott. To Scott. It got hot by the end of the show. How exciting. All right, bye guys, see you tomorrow. Bye everyone, bye-bye.
